Anyway, progress on my remix is slow and I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to structure it yet but I thought I'd post a rough snippet as i won't now get a chance to do anymore on it until next week sometime. As usual any feedback is appreciated.
I feel like the basis is there, in the instrumentation, but that it needs something extra to bring in later to keep it progressing and building, something melodic maybe, but I'm a bit stumped tbh. Anyway, it's here if anyone cares to listen and has any amazing suggestions... https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8cgxeieg1...honesketch.mp3 |

Yeah he did get to say something. Not as much as Grado (no, I don't know either), but he gave a nice wee speech, surprise, thank you to mum and dad etc etc, all the while looking as cute as a button in an ever so slightly room to grow suit and collarless shirt

Who the hell is Grado?! To me Grado are an audiophile hi-fi component manufacturer.

I've just spent the last two hours watching Grado videos online. I think it's safe to say I'm now a fan.

Oh. I've just noticed Nicky's changed his bio on twitter Quote:
For BOOKINGS & ENQUIRIES CONTACT - Hills@shawthingmanagement.com
Does that mean his manager is no longer his Mum?There's not much info on their website but it looks like they're responsible for Girls Aloud and Nicola Roberts. The Nicola Roberts thing is interesting as her solo album was really quite interesting, with interesting producers on board (Metronomy who i HEART produced a couple of the tracks). Amyway, hopefully this is a good sign of movement. |

Some days ago there was comment about an unidentified PA.
Could it be this guy? Or are there more PA's involved? The header of his twitter account: Paul Tough @toughieboi PA to Eileen (@eileenmcdonald2) & Nicholas (@nickymcdonald1) McDonald. All views are my own. Airdrie, North Lanarkshire |

Btw, what did Nicky think of my dance mix? I know Nicky and his mates like a bit of dance music.
EileenQuote:
Hahaha yes he did like it .
![]() I don;t want to bombard Eileen with loads of questions but re; the two emails I've previously sent, the reply was... Quote:
Yes we did thanks past it onto manager in London .. Thanks Chris xxx
So looks like Nicky's manager actually is someone at Shaw Thing Management.

It's yersel is my new favourite phrase. Obviously I say it in a moderately posh English accent, but I don't care.
